This is the latest residential project by Dutch practice Sponge Architects: Villa Panorama, where you can ‘enjoy the country life in a home where your dream landscape reveals itself before your own eyes’.

‘The immediate context drove the decision of designing an introvert villa for the Ordos 100 project in China. As a result of the extreme weather, it has been chosen to bury the house taking advantage of the generosity of underground temperatures and therefore neutralizing the harsh winter and summer weather conditions.

The facades and the roof of this dwelling by Jager Janssen Architecten comprise one entity. The skin, consisting of anthracite-coloured corrugated sheets, is open in strategic places in order to let the environment in. Maximizing this effect, the entire dwelling is positioned one meter above ground level, resulting on a spacious lower ground floor.

The exterior of the dwelling looks rather solid and closed. The interior experience is one of beautiful spatial impressions.

A smart system based on just a few composition rules creates a seemingly irregular pattern of wooden boards.

This villa by Rojkind Arquitectos is located in plot #67 of the Ordos 100 project. ‘The scope of the project is to Develop 100 hundred villas in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, for the Client, Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Ltd.
